did you buy it? I would buy it If I had the chance. I'm not sure about the components on the bike you are looking at but my friend has a 2010 sortie and Ive rolled it a bit. I think its a killer bike. geometry is great. not sure what kind of shocks he has on it but its plush and the knuckle box rear suspension works well. I like it and if he gets rid of his I'm gunna try and pick it up
